The Elementary Plan (Grade 5 or 6)
Why?
RhythmBee is the leader in Automated Rhythm
Instruction. Our program does the teaching and allows you,
the teacher, to watch and hear every student perform. That
process allows every child to become musically literate and prepare
to be an enthusiastic and competent participant in middle school
music ensembles.
How does this work?
In only the 5th grade*, the
elementary music teacher replaces the normal rhythm study with the
sequential instruction of the RhythmBee Program. One five to ten
minute instructional unit per class period will allow time for
other studies. The review and reinforcement that is part of every
unit provides students with unlimited opportunities to learn each
skill.
With weekly class meetings, each
class will complete 36 units in the span of a school year.
The skills that the students learn will enable a middle school
teacher of an ensemble program to take the students to ever-higher
levels of rhythm instruction.
A RhythmBee Festival is a wonderful motivating
tool and a suitable culminating activity. The purchase
of the Elementary Edition entitles the school to free consultation
and advise concerning the use of the program and the management and
execution of a RhythmBee
Festival.
